Downing Of EgyptAir 804 Caused By Outer Space Interference? Two reports from Europe have come in with theories involving outer space interference for the downing of EgyptAir Flight 804. The first report comes from Turkey, where two airline pilots have claim they saw an object with green lights pass by their passenger jet, an hour before and 500 miles from where 804 went down. A second report coming from the Russian Ministry of Defense claims EgyptAir Flight 804 crashed due to the aircraft being struck by debris from a large meteorite. The Kanopus satellite observed the meteorite slamming into the...

Residents in a Mexican city awoke in terror as reports of a bright light in the sky followed by a thunderous noise lead to fears of the local volcano erupting. However, many witnesses suggest it was most likely a meteor, which caused windows to shake and a loud explosion like sound to be reported. One witness reported “There was a light that shone for a couple of seconds like it was daytime and then there was tremendous thunder.” while another stated “We thought it was an earthquake, but it wasn’t. We were truly terrified.” Officials said Popocatepetl volcano had not...

A bizarre event took place in Los Angeles, CA Saturday (11/21/15), as the ground began moving sideways in slow-motion, and rising 15-feet in a mere 4-hours. The roads in some areas were destroyed, which took down utility poles and wrecked infrastructure. The two mile stretch of Vasquez Canyon Road was closed until further notice. “It is important to note that, according to the US Geological Survey, no earthquakes have taken place during this time, to account for this type of land deformation. About 3 hours later [began 12:08pm], at 3:36 PM, the road had become clearly deformed from ground movement; yet there is...

Fukushima Exclusion Zone Photos- 4 Years Later On Friday, 11 March 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and subsequent major tsunami struck Japan with devastating force. Along with the damage from strong seismic action, flooding, and winds, the inadequately prepared Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant complex suffered multiple meltdowns in the following days. Recently, photographer Arkadiusz Podniesinski returned to the restricted zone, capturing and annotating the changes in the region. Reclamation crews have been busy, removing debris and replacing ruined structures. Contaminated topsoil is being laboriously removed. Reclamation crews repair damage to buildings in the Fukushima exclusion zone (A. Podniesinski/Disclose.tv) In some places, Nature...

Scientists have been trying to determine why there are weird Earthquakes taking place in areas that are not on tectonic plate boundaries. In recent findings by the University of Southern California, a former mystery pertaining to unexplained Earthquakes now has evidence to confirm the source of the activity. New findings recently published in Nature magazine by a USC scientist says that mantle flow is a large contributor to earthquakes within the interior of tectonic plates. A large mountain belt in California which runs North to South was used to detect underground activity and the research corroborates well with the activity...

In the event of a zombie apocalypse, it’s imperative that you have a plan. If you’re influenced by the movies, then you might be inclined to take your chances and head for the nearest pub or shopping mall in order to outwit a growing horde of bloodthirsty zombies. Your average shopping mall is equipped with all […]

Nobody has ever put a lander on the far side of the Moon before, but China is well on its way to being the first. Over the weekend, the country launched a craft called Queqiao – a satellite that will orbit the Moon to relay messages from the yet-to-be-launched lander, Chang’e-4. The Moon is tidally […]

It only lasted for a savage, fleeting instant, but for 8 intense seconds last week an eagle, a fox, and a rabbit flew across the sky as one. In an incredibly rare scene, photographers have captured the moment a bald eagle swooped down upon a young red fox clutching a rabbit, and in its whirlwind […]

There is something special and awe-inspiring about watching new land form. This is what is now happening in Hawai’i as its Kīlauea volcano erupts. Lava is reaching the ocean and building land while producing spectacular plumes of steam. These eruptions are hugely important for the creation of new land. But they are also dangerous. Where […]

Calling all citizen scientists! A project looking for those dying, exploding stars called supernovae out in deep space is also searching for volunteers to help in the work, and you can get real science credit for it along the way – even if you’ve never done a second of star-gazing before. Astronomers from the Australian National […]

When Jean-Lou Justine received the first photograph of a giant worm with a head like a shovel, the biologist was astounded. Hammerhead flatworms, which grow to a foot or more in length, do not belong in European vegetable gardens. “We do not have that in France,” said Justine, a professor at the National Museum of […]

Astronauts go through many physiological changes during their time in spaceflight, including lower muscle mass and slower muscle development. Similar symptoms can occur in the muscles of people on Earth’s surface, too. In fact, it could affect everyone to some extent later in life. “Age-related skeletal muscle disorders, such as sarcopenia, are becoming a greater […]

Exposure to early life trauma can lead to poor physical and mental health in some individuals, which can be passed on to their children. Studies in mice show that at least some of the effects of stress can be transmitted to offspring via environmentally-induced changes in sperm miRNA levels. A new epigenetics study raises the […]

Most renderings and reconstructions of pterodactyls and other extinct flying reptiles show a flight pose much like that of bats, which fly with their hind limbs splayed wide apart. But a new method for inferring how ancient animals might have moved their joints suggests that pterosaurs probably couldn’t strike that pose. “Most of the work […]

Corals growing in high-latitude reefs in Western Australia can regulate their internal chemistry to promote growth under cooler temperatures, according to new research at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at The University of Western Australia. The study, published today in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, suggests that ocean warming may […]
